Don't try to store your oxygen and acetylene in the same cylinder........

I wondered if compressing oxygen and acetylene in the same volume could create a spontaneous reaction. Much like O2 and grease in high pressure fittings.

Well, acetylene explodes at pressure above 15 PSIG, doesn't it?

Ahhh yes, now I recall that's way its dissolved in acetone in the cylinder.
